Having been through consciousness-raising in the late 60's around discrimination against women, I know how it feels to have the blindfold ripped off and to see things clearly that were completely invisible before. That is what this awesome book did for me around age discrimination. It's highly readable and meticulously researched while at the same time being trenchant and funny.In the days since I finished reading it, I've been observing my own attitudes and the things that happen around me in a whole new way. I see ageism EVERYWHERE, and not least between my own ears. Many of my own actions are motivated by the desire not to appear "old", and I need to work on that.If you hope to get old someday, read this book. If enough people do, and then take action, there might just be a chance that the world will be "older-friendly" by the time you get there.
I found this author through a New York Times editorial and was led to her website and blog, which I so thoroughly enjoyed. Is Ageism the "Last Acceptible Prejudice?" I've heard that said about casual anti-Semitism ("Jew him down"), casual homophobia ("that's so Gay!"), but jokes about "I've fallen and I can't get up are endemic without a second look. In my practice, I see long-term employees with good evaluations over a long period of time, suddenly deemed incompetent. I even, in one case, collected the data from the entire Board of Education of New York City and learned that statistically, teachers over 40 were more likely to be charged with incompetence than those under - and with each ten-year increase in age, the chances went up. The Court rejected the evidence because an arbitrator had accepted the testimony of the principal - a rule rejected by another part of the country. I took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, and my brief got some notice, but was not accepted for argument. Later, the Supreme Court made it harder for aggrieved employees to sue. Local laws, like those in New York City lessen the burden, but "out with the old in with the new" is presumptively accepted in the workplace, and the employer will find a way to get rid of an employee for some reason or another. People in my position must hunt for clues - like statistical evidence - and statements and negative treatment that will allow a jury to infer ageism. This author's book gave me so many insights (and now citations) to inferences to be made from statements and actions and I'm so glad I was surfing the web and found this wonderful and important book about fundamental human rights.
Many of you reading the word ageism will probably have a reaction similar to mine. Among the many negative -isms, racism, sexism, jingoism, authoritarianism--ageism was a barely perceptible blip on my radar. Ashton Applewhite's recently published book, This Chair Rocks--A Manifesto against Ageism--beautifully describes why we should care and, almost as importantly, why we should combat ageism. It is both a well researched treatise on ageism and its consequences and engaging personal story of a journey to understand why and how ageism is so prevalent in our society. Ageism is a wonderful example of the adage "We have met the enemy and he is us." What we all should remember is that the ageist of today is the elder of tomorrow. It is a challenging and important book and I hope you will all buy it and read it.
Ashton Applewhite presents a compelling way to view aging-along with descriptions (sometimes surprising, at least to me) of what ageism is. The book gives comfort to those of us dealing actively with leaving middle age (whatever that is, exactly) behind and entering new ground. Applewhite deals realistically with the challenges of aging while pointing out the many ways in which we can continue to evolve and contribute-to ourselves and the world.One point that particularly struck home was the fact that we are all, always, aging and that in rejecting older people, younger people are in fact rejecting their future selves. Our society has created an unrealistic box in which we place "the old" and everyone looks for ways to avoid being in this artificial box (while, of course, continuing to stay alive). Applewhite dispels many of the frightening myths about aging (for example, the idea of most people ending up as a burden only applies to a small percentage) and explores its many gifts.My only complaint about this book came from the Kindle edition I bought. In several places it was missing pages that made it hard to follow the book's progress. This is a sad fault that mars the reading experience of an excellent work.
A thousand lightbulb moments is the best way to describe this book. As you turn the pages you will think "yes, I noticed that and it made me wonder." As boomers get older there has been a glut of books on aging and most have focused on adapting to cultural stereotypes - slowing down, retiring, medical challenges - this is a shining gem in that stack because it is about debunking the myths related to aging, she backs up this premise with studies and facts, and she encourages people of all ages to raise our awareness of ageist behavior and call it out and question it.. Applewhite encourages you to not be defined by stereotypes - to live your life as you see fit. That might mean slowing down but it also might mean speeding up. As she notes we become more individualistic as we get older because we get to know ourselves better so why should we be influenced by a one size fits all definition of aging. The word "manifesto" is included here because it encourages activism and she gives you a toolbox full of ways to go within and to share with others. As for me she may have created a monster because as I got older I noticed more and more that the "standard definition" and stock photos of greying elders looking into the sunset had nothing to do with my life and I started to overtly question overt ageist content across media and culture in general and our profit generating obsession with "youth." I would give this book 10 stars if I could. Whether you are 12 or 102 this should be on your mandatory reading list.
